Well the gov's talk of easing the lockdown seems to have already wormed its way into the collective subconscious down here in Brighton, stark increase in overall numbers of people out and about and lot less focus on social distancing. A lot more traffic than usual too.
The timing of all these 'the lockdown's going to be relaxed on Monday' the Tories have been feeding the BBC and others is so stupid. Right before a bank holiday weekend. It should have been kept under wraps till after, now with the good weather too I'm expecting this weekend to be a disaster.

Also because I imagine one of the key messages on Monday will be - you should still not mix with people outside your household.
This, as can be seen by those front pages, will not be how most of the population is interpreting the "end of lockdown".

Except if that was the plan all along:-
"We were going to ease lockdown slightly after this weekend but with the behaviour seen over this long weekend and the increase in number of cases we're going to have to keep those measures in place for a bit longer, and we'll also need to introduce this extra draconian measure that we've wanted all along."

Walked dog to the park and back and it genuinely felt like lockdown was already over. I'm so glad that taking him out is the only reason I have to leave the house as I think we're about to shit the bed massively in this country and make it 10x worse for ourselves.
